Root canal treatments are basically performed to save a grossly destructed or infected tooth instead of removing it. When the decay extends deep into the tooth reaching the pulp tissue, there will be severe excruciating pain, a normal filling will not resolve the problem. Hence, the root canals containing the infected nerve needs to be cleaned and prepared. After proper cleaning and debridement of the infection, the canals are filled three dimensionally with a thermoplastic filling material.

The infected pulp tissue in a tooth causes severe pain on chewing, eating, or drinking cold or hot fluids, and the pain can persist throughout the day. It is very crucial to meet your Root canal specialist in Dubai once you have developed tooth ache. Negligence or fear to meet your dentist can escalate the problem. An infected pulp tissue cannot heal itself, thereby, here at Versatile Dental Clinic, our Root canal experts will make sure that our patients will have a painless comfortable root canal treatment.
The dentist will have to take x-rays before and during the root canal procedures, these x-rays, depicts the status of the pulp tissue which is damaged by bacterial invasion. To begin with the root canal procedure your dentist makes the tooth, and the surrounding gums numb with a local anaesthetic agent, this allows the procedure to be painless and more comfortable for the patient. Once the tooth roots are clean, free of infection, the canals are filled and thereafter the tooth is sealed with a permanent filling material followed by a crown.

This completely depends on the condition of the tooth; simple and accessible cases can be finished in single sitting.

Pain is not only one reason that one must undergo a root canal treatment. In some cases, the tooth may have a long-standing infection (chronic) that our body would have got used to and hence, would not have crossed ones pain threshold. In this case the tooth will be dead or non-vital due to the destruction of all the nerve tissue. If this is left untreated there can be an acute or sudden outburst of this long-standing infection giving rise to collection of pus at the root end (abscess). Such cases can be diagnosed by our root canal expert dentist with the help of x-rays and other tests.
Though root canals have a high success rate, there are instances when a root canal fails to heal, or there is secondary infection around the roots if not properly done.
